Polar Fleece Fabric Types

Choose the brushing and anti-pilling treatment according to which side will be exposed, touch the skin or connect with another fabric. Confirm the required face before sample development.

01
Single Brushed Single Anti-Pilling Polar Fleece

Single Brushed Single Anti-Pilling Polar Fleece

One side is brushed to create the fleece pile and treated for improved pilling resistance, while the reverse retains a flatter knitted surface.

Construction

One brushed and anti-pilling treated face with one unbrushed reverse.

Typical Applications

Garment linings, hood and pocket linings, gloves, scarves and lightweight thermal components.

02
Double Brushed Single Anti-Pilling Polar Fleece

Double Brushed Single Anti-Pilling Polar Fleece

Both sides are brushed for a soft fleece surface, while anti-pilling treatment is applied to one designated face.

Construction

Two brushed faces with anti-pilling treatment on one selected side.

Typical Applications

Fleece jackets, pullovers, schoolwear, children’s outerwear and blankets with one primary exposed face.

03
Double Brushed Double Anti-Pilling Polar Fleece

Double Brushed Double Anti-Pilling Polar Fleece

Both sides are brushed and treated for improved pilling resistance, providing a consistent fleece appearance on both surfaces.

Construction

Two brushed faces with anti-pilling treatment applied to both sides.

Typical Applications

Reversible garments, robes, premium blankets, throws and double-faced accessories.

Confirm which side faces outward, touches the skin or connects with another material before sampling.

Polar Fleece GSM Selection Guide

All four ranges are shown together so apparel brands, garment factories and sourcing teams can compare warmth, sewing bulk and product use at a glance.

Weight Range
Recommended Applications
Selection Guidance
130–180 GSM
Recommended Applications Lightweight Linings and Accessories

Garment linings, hood and pocket linings, gloves, scarves and lightweight layering components.

Selection Guidance

Suitable when low bulk, flexibility and easy garment construction are more important than maximum insulation.

180–250 GSM
Recommended Applications General Apparel and Loungewear

Everyday fleece jackets, pullovers, schoolwear, pajamas and casual warm layers.

Selection Guidance

A versatile range that balances warmth, fabric weight, sewing efficiency and bulk-order cost.

250–320 GSM
Recommended Applications Cold-Weather Apparel and Home Textiles

Winter jackets, heavier pullovers, outdoor mid-layers, blankets and robes.

Selection Guidance

Evaluate pile height, fabric density and brushing quality together with GSM when comparing warmth and hand feel.

320–400 GSM
Recommended Applications Heavyweight and Bonded Applications

Heavy fleece jackets, cold-weather garments, premium blankets and fleece backing for bonded fabrics.

Selection Guidance

Confirm seam bulk, pile compression, finished hand feel and the final weight of any bonded construction before production.

Polyester and Recycled Polyester Options

Conventional Polyester

Choose conventional polyester when cost control, dyeing stability and repeat-order consistency are the main priorities. Confirm yarn specification, color standard and bulk tolerance before production.

Recycled Polyester

Recycled polyester polar fleece can be developed when verified recycled content is required. Confirm yarn availability, applicable GRS certification scope and transaction-certificate requirements before quotation. Documentation availability depends on the selected material and production route.

GRS-certified production routes can be discussed according to yarn sourcing, order requirements and document availability.

Custom Polar Fleece Finishes

Functional finishing

Enhanced anti-pilling, anti-static and water-repellent finishes can be discussed according to the target product and required test method. Other functional requirements should be reviewed individually before sampling.

Printing and embossing

Transfer printing, rotary screen printing, flat screen printing and tonal embossing can be developed. Approve a strike-off for color, scale, penetration and surface clarity.

Bonded constructions

Polar fleece can be bonded with knitted, woven or membrane-based face materials for softshell, wind-resistant and more structured two- or three-layer constructions.

DWR-treated polar fleece is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. Waterproof and windproof performance normally depends on the complete bonded structure and garment construction.

Applications of Polar Fleece Fabric

Use product position, recommended fabric direction and the main performance risk to narrow the specification before sampling.

Polar Fleece Quality Control

Hand feel alone is not sufficient for bulk approval. Agree the test method, target result and tolerance for the properties that affect cutting, sewing, washing and finished-product performance.

GSM and finished width

Shedding and pile retention

Bursting or tensile strength where relevant

Shade consistency

Pilling and surface stability

Shrinkage and dimensional stability

Colorfastness to washing and rubbing

Bulk-to-approved-sample comparison

Third-party testing through SGS, Intertek or another nominated laboratory can be arranged according to the required test items, test standards and destination market.

Fabric Production Process

Five approval stages keep the construction, color, surface treatment and bulk reference aligned from development to shipment.

Step 01

Send the product brief

Share the product, target GSM, width, surface, color, finish, quantity and destination market.

Step 02

Confirm the construction

Review brushing, anti-pilling sides, fiber choice and available greige options.

Step 03

Approve color and sample

Confirm lab dips, available swatches, strike-offs or custom samples.

Step 04

Produce and inspect bulk

Control the agreed specification, shade, surface and physical performance.

Step 05

Pack and ship

Prepare fabric rolls, inspection records and export documents under the agreed trade terms.
